-Friedrich Nietzsche
Quotations
Suffering
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
If we stop considering ourselves special on the level of physicalities, half our
sorrows will disappear by themselves. From sickness to death, events to
accidents; what happens to others, can always happen to us and our beloved
ones too... Then what's the point in grieving about them for so long?
-Deep Trivedi
Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.
-Meister Eckhart "Meister Eckhart"
True realisation of the actual nature of this material world, its perishable, transitory and illusory aspects best dawns on a person in suffering.
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Tegh Bahadur"
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
-Helen Keller
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.
-Oscar Wilde
